Emmanuel Sanders News
Former Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders officially announced his retirement from professional football on Wednesday. "I gave it my all. Every single rep, every single play, I tried to go 100 percent as hard as I can. And that's why I can hang my hat and say I gave the game everything I had and the game gave it back to me," Sanders said. The 35-year-old was originally a third-round pick by the Steelers in 2010 out of SMU. He spent his first four years in Pittsburgh before joining the Broncos, where he won his only Super Bowl ring and was named to the Pro Bowl twice. Sanders had three straight 1,000-yard seasons in Denver from 2014-16 and spent 12 years in the NFL. In total, he racked up 704 catches (1,136 targets) for 9,245 yards and 51 touchdowns in 172 regular season games for the Steelers, Broncos, 49ers, Saints and Bills.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders said he might retire this offseason. "I've got my son; he's getting older. I've got a daughter getting older. And for the past three years, [I've] been traveling and moving from team to team, trying to win a Super Bowl," Sanders told radio host Colin Cowherd, via si.com. "But I've got some reflecting I want to do and possibly retire. I don't know yet. I'm just feeling it out." The 34-year-old showed no signs of slowing down, catching 42 passes for 646 yards and four touchdowns over 14 games in 2021. Sanders needs 755 more yards to reach 10,000 for his career. Stefon Diggs, Gabriel Davis, and Isaiah McKenzie will be Bills quarterback Josh Allen's top targets if Sanders does decide to hang up his cleats. Stay tuned.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) made his return from injury for the Bills' playoff game against New England and caught two passes for 36 yards and a touchdown. He come out of that game healthy and was able to practice in full all week, meaning he will remain active against a Chiefs team who he had great success against in October when he caught three passes for 54 yards and two touchdowns. Now, since that time, Gabriel Davis has emerged as a key members of the wide receiver corps; however, Sanders has not been phased out. In fact, Sanders played the third-most snaps among Bills wide receivers during the Wild Card win over New England, so if the Bills need to push the pace against the Chiefs, Sanders could be an intriguing DFS dart throw in GPP lineups.
